I'm Joe Easley, Solutions Architect at Qlik. Today, I'm going to take a pipeline that I already built in Snowflake, PlainSQL, DDL, and Tasks, and rebuild it as a declarative pipeline in Qlik Talent Cloud, with VS Code and Claude doing the heavy lifting. Here's the starting point, an empty QTC project, my Snowflake SQL file, and a short set of guidelines for Claude. I'll prompt Claude with what we're building and let it run. That took about two minutes. Here's what it produced, a complete QTC project, source registration, a storage task, three transforms for activity, customer, and workload, each with its own datasets and source selection. All declarative YAML, none of it written by hand. With the pipeline generated, I'll fire off the commit to the repository. Now, over on the Qlik Talent Cloud side, I'll use the GitHub integration to apply those remote changes onto the pipeline. Refresh the screen, and there it is, the pipeline fully built out, every SQL transformation in place, and ready to run. And that's the whole loop, Snowflake SQL in, a working QTC pipeline out, in a fraction of the time it would take by hand. Thanks for tuning in. I'll see you next time.

TL;DR

  • Joe Easley demonstrates converting an existing Snowflake SQL pipeline into a declarative YAML pipeline in Qlik Talent Cloud using Claude and VS Code in under two minutes.
  • Claude generates the complete QTC project — source registration, storage task, and three data transforms — entirely from a SQL file and a short prompt, with no manual YAML authoring required.
  • The generated pipeline is committed to GitHub and applied to Qlik Talent Cloud via its native GitHub integration, keeping the entire workflow inside familiar developer tools.

Summary

In this short technical demonstration, Qlik Solutions Architect Joe Easley shows how developers can use AI-assisted tooling — specifically Claude as the LLM and VS Code as the IDE — to convert existing Snowflake SQL pipelines into fully declarative YAML-based pipelines in Qlik Talent Cloud (QTC). Starting from a plain SQL DDL and task file, Joe prompts Claude with a brief set of guidelines and lets it generate a complete QTC project in roughly two minutes. The output includes source registration, a storage task, and three separate transforms for activity, customer, and workload data — each with its own datasets and source selection — all expressed as declarative YAML without any manual authoring. The generated project is then committed to a GitHub repository and pulled into Qlik Talent Cloud via its native GitHub integration, resulting in a fully built, ready-to-run pipeline visible directly in the QTC interface. The demo emphasizes that developers never need to leave their preferred tools: the entire authoring and version-control workflow stays within VS Code and GitHub, with Qlik Talent Cloud consuming the output. This approach targets data engineers and developers who want faster pipeline iteration, reduced handoffs between teams, and pipelines that live natively alongside application code in source control.

FAQ

Do I need to learn a new UI to build pipelines in Qlik Talent Cloud using this approach?

No. The demonstration shows the entire pipeline being authored in VS Code with AI assistance, committed to GitHub, and then applied to Qlik Talent Cloud via its GitHub integration — no manual work inside the QTC interface is required.

What does the AI-generated output actually include?

Claude produced a complete QTC project containing source registration, a storage task, and three transforms (for activity, customer, and workload data), each with its own datasets and source selection — all as declarative YAML.
